Abstract
The principle of the absorption process is described and its versatility demonstrated. A wide range of applications, from household refrigerators to topping processes in power plants, are surveyed in an historical perspective. the production of mechanical energy and open systems are also included. Modern developments are reviewed, special attention being given to the aspets of thermal energy storage.Keywords
